Opal Moon Jar

Blushing pink from chrome glaze and green copper “kisses” from a neighboring piece in the kiln.

History and Culture Behind Moon Jars: 

Originating in the Joseon Dynasty of Korea (1392-1897), Moon Jars were created as a reflection of Confucian values, embodying simplicity, purity, and humility. These jars were highly esteemed for their unpretentious, unadorned form and serene presence. The distinctiveness of Moon Jars lies in their deliberately imperfect shapes, often exhibiting gentle bulges and irregularities that mimic the natural forms found in the natural world.

The neutral hue of the jar's glaze symbolizes the moon's luminous glow and purity. Their open mouths and curved forms evoke a sense of emptiness and wholeness, inviting contemplation and reflection.

In contemporary times, the Moon Jar continues to captivate hearts—its timeless appeal and spiritual connotations make it a treasured symbol of harmony. It stands as a bridge between the past and the present, reminding us of the beauty that can be found in simplicity.
